is that a matrox MXO2 on top of your MP? How do you like it?
Yup it is the MXO2 LE. I like it. Fairly cheap compared to a Kona, plus you don't have to buy a separate breakout box like Kona to deal with the huge whip. All necessary ins/outs I need for my work.
There is a bug they are working on a software patch for that is pretty annoying. I keep my timeline levels (in FCP) set to average -12db and peak at -6db. For some reason it buries the needle on my mixer and distorts the audio. I need to open the audio mixer tool in FCP and reduce the overall output by -12db to make it so it doesn't clip on my system. Kind of an annoyance but they do have a thread on their forums about it, they have reproduced it and are working on a fix. Another thing is you can't use your system wide audio controls. Example, for Itunes, you can turn down the slider for the audio within iTunes, but the overall system audio is grayed out so you can't use your keyboard audio buttons. You really need to be using a mixer for audio monitor control with this card.
If you get one, don't get the max for h264 transcoding. Get the cheap elgato turbo h264 HD, it is loads faster. I am averaging 220 fps for good quality h264 and it's only $100!
